As fleets age and operating patterns change, owner-operators must balance day-to-day performance with long-term reliability and asset preservation. This topic covers maintenance strategies, reliability programs, inspection practices, forced outage reduction, failure analysis and life-extension decisions across generation fleets. The emphasis is on practical actions that improve availability, manage risk, control costs and help plants perform under more demanding market and operating conditions.
